Subject: [PATCH 5.16 049/164] hwmon: Handle failure to register sensor with thermal zone correctly

From: Guenter Roeck <linux@...ck-us.net>

commit 1b5f517cca36292076d9e38fa6e33a257703e62e upstream.

If an attempt is made to a sensor with a thermal zone and it fails,
the call to devm_thermal_zone_of_sensor_register() may return -ENODEV.
This may result in crashes similar to the following.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000003cd

Code: d503201f d503201f d2800001 aa0103e4 (c8e47c02)

Jon Hunter reports that the exact call sequence is:

hwmon_notify_event()
  --> hwmon_thermal_notify()
    --> thermal_zone_device_update()
      --> update_temperature()
        --> mutex_lock()

The hwmon core needs to handle all errors returned from calls
to devm_thermal_zone_of_sensor_register(). If the call fails
with -ENODEV, report that the sensor was not attached to a
thermal zone  but continue to register the hwmon device.
